Description: Features reenactor group profiling the Upshur Grays that were organized during the Civil War in West Virginia.
The Upshur Grays were organized in Upshur County, (West) Virginia by Captain John C. Higginbotham on May 27, 1861, despite strong Union sentiment in the county. On June 3rd, the fine new tents of the Upshur Grays became the target of the first cannon shots fired at the "Philippi Races". The group was designated Company A of the 25th Regiment Virginia Infantry when state forces were organized by Brig. Gen. Robert S. Garnett at Huttonsville in mid-June. Lt. Col. Jonathan Heck became the first official commander of the regiment. As part of the Army of the Northwest, the 25th took an active part in the Tygart and Cheat campaigns, and participated in the battles of Rich Mountain, Greenbrier River and Allegheny Mountain.
